Exegesis
The emphatic negation ou mē dipsēsei {οὐ μὴ διψήσει | ou mḕ dip-sḗ-sei} combines two negation particles with the future indicative to guarantee that the subject “will certainly not thirst,” and the temporal phrase eis ton aiōna {εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα | eis tòn ai-ô-na} adds duration “for all time.”
In context — John 4:14
But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will absolutely never thirst for all time, but the water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water leaping up into eternal life .
